This is a client for the Rackspace Legacy Cloud Servers API. There's a Python API (the
lnovaclient
module), and a command-line script (lnova
). Each
implements 100% of the Rackspace Legacy Cloud Servers API.
You'll also probably want to read Rackspace's API guide (PDF) : The guide will provide you an overview of all of the available functions.
Development has stopped on this client, though I will be maintaining it for functionality.
Contents:
Installing this package gets you a shell command, nova
, that you
can use to interact with any Rackspace compatible API (including OpenStack).
You'll need to provide your OpenStack username and API key. You can do this
with the --username
, --apikey
and --projectid
params, but it's easier to just
set them as environment variables:
export NOVA_USERNAME=openstack export NOVA_API_KEY=yadayada export NOVA_PROJECT_ID=myproject
You will also need to define the authentication url with --url
and the
version of the API with --version
. Or set them as an environment
variables as well:
export NOVA_URL=http://example.com:8774/v1.1/ export NOVA_VERSION=1.1
If you are using Keystone, you need to set the NOVA_URL to the keystone endpoint:
export NOVA_URL=http://example.com:5000/v2.0/
Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog, you
can specify the one you want with --region_name
(or
export NOVA_REGION_NAME
). It defaults to the first in the list returned.
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running
nova help
:
